   Miguel Sanchez,   
   You know very little about Bohemia (I am from). We have quite strong   
   Celtic-German-Slavic continuity. In archeology, local names, and even   
   originally celtic stories of gods. As You write "in the time of Caesar the   
   Bohemia was deserted by Celts" You are    
   simply using one Roman source which is in contrary with many more other Roman   
   sources. Simply it is not true. The first german king who defeated previous   
   celtic king was Marobud. He has celtic name and it is written that he was   
   creating "multi-tribe    
   kingdom". His name "Great Victor" is connected much more to the victorious   
   defending war with Rome 6 BC. In the 2nd century another Marcomanic (German)   
   king Balomar was again king of "muti-tribe" and has celtic name again.    
   Our old czech stories are celtic. King Crocco, the coin with name Crocco was   
   found in celtic oppidum. There is even description of samhain rites at the   
   greatest oppidum close to Prague and the story is connected with sun positions   
   in landscape... There    
   are more old mythological stories from celtic time we have. Much more You   
   should think of changing of society during time. Nowadays czech historians are   
   calling people of erly medieval Czech state as "Bohemians" which means the   
   people were some sort of    
   language and cultural mixture.
